Jodelle

Etched Within

Technical Progressive Melodic Blackened Death Metal

Finality

Pale Shadows

For fans of Death, Extol, Decapitated, Morbid Angel - technical death n roll with black metal tinge, even some thrash metal elements.

The Deep Wounds

Crushing track, mid to slow paced death metal with heavy atmosphere and folk elements.  Progressive parts throughout and overall doom feeling.

Within A Circle of Ravens

Heavy faster paced black n roll track with punk thrash tendencies.  Melodic breaks throughout, with blues tinged breakdowns and blast beats alike

Wraith

Stare At The Faceless Sun

Started in 2012 as a solo project of drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Carter (ex-The Chariot, ex-Deus Invictus), Darkening was borne out of necessity to create something much heavier and abrasive than the aforementioned projects.  Added to the roster is bassist Josh Swofford (ex-Luti-Kriss, Norma Jean), pummeling listeners on the low end with reckless abandon.   Combining black metal's screeching lust for the occult, death metal's aural supremacy, the heart of punk and good old fashioned rock and roll swing has this band on trajectory to breaking new ground in the fields, or graveyards, of heavy metal past; digging up a new corpse entirely!  Hailing from Atlanta, GA, a band of seasoned musicians skilled in the ways of pure chaos and unrivaled brutality is making its unholy mark.  No light, no prisoners:  Only Darkening.
